Vale Denis Hitchens 

By Mgr Frank Marriott.

In the mid to late seventies, I convened a small meeting in Heathcote, Victoria to discuss the lack of a current Official Directory of the Catholic Church – the “Red Book”. Whatever the reasons, The Official Directory had not appeared. Communications amongst the clergy were being hampered and obtaining accurate information about Church institutions was difficult. It was a time of growth and great changes. Fax machines were on the market!
